The Way People Look

Drawing, Photography and Film by Natalie Kay

Biography


I am an art-maker, living and working in London and am obsessed by the myriad of people whom I will never speak to or ever know. My practice comprises drawing, photography and video and reflecting my interests, focuses on the relationships between the artist, subject and observer and the anonymity of the passer-by. For more information please read my Artists Statement page.
